Introducing the Abe Quotation sub-forum We've been noticing more and more members enjoying and sharing Abraham's words of wisdom in many different forms. The momentum of such generous sharing has caught our attention so we've created a place here on the forum to assemble such gems "under one roof," so to speak.
Step 5 is,
where you not only accept the contrast as important to the equation,
but you revel in the contrasting experience that causes you to FOCUS.
And now you've come full circle. Now you are on top of life! Now, nothing bothers you.
Because you know, IT'S ALL FOR YOU!
Now, nothing bothers you, because you know that you've attracted every bit of it.
Nothing bothers you, because you know it's the clarity that you've been seeking.
Nothing bothers you, because you know you have mastery of your own ability to focus.
Abraham Hicks
Observing what is only perpetuates it.
Trying to figure out how it got started only perpetuates it.
Taking action while feeling negative emotion only perpetuates it.
An improved situation will only come once you have improved the way you feel.
Most people think that intelligence is about brain,
where really it’s about focus.
Genius is just attention to a subject until it becomes
specific, specific, specific.
If you would become obsessed with the best parts of your life, which means:
you talk about it and
you think about it and
you play with it and
you observe it and
you take pictures of it and
you tell others about it and
you think about it and
you talk about it and
you observe it;
until you activate it in your vibration until more thoughts like it come!
If you would become obsessed with the best parts of your life,
you would deactivate the parts of your life that you don't want.
But when you are obsessed with the parts of your life that you don't want,
and you keep them active, then there aren't enough helpers in the world
to help you get to where you think you want to be.
It’s in the eye of the beholder!
In other words, you see what you are vibrationally tuned to, but more importantly, you see what you expect. The expectation is a vibrational practice, and anything is possible.
We want you to know that there is only one source of well-being, which is dominant.
And if you’re picking up on any of that other stuff, it’s because you’re outside the vortex on the raw and ragged edge. You’ve got a pretty good vibration going, and all that stuff floating around out there, congealing and able to pick up. In other words, transmitting and receiving mechanisms is all it is.
Questioner:
Then I was just wondering if there is something called a ghost. And if there is, what are they?
Abraham:
Well, certainly there is that which is called that, it's called spirit sometimes, is called ghost, or apparition. (Laughter.) Or Casper. In the same way, Esther interprets vibration verbally or auditorially; it is possible to interpret vibration visually. And so sometimes the person, the seer, is in a vibrational place, close enough proximity that they can interpret the energy visually.
Sometimes the energy is a projection from Source. Sometimes it is the thought-form — in other words, as you are here in your physical body, you have to understand what a great focal point you are! There’s that word focus’ again. You are focused energy, so as you perceive life from your vantage point, that vantage point becomes a sort of energy vortex, and as others perceive you, the same thing happens.
So, long after you are no longer in your physical body, the energy that surrounds you still exists, and those who care to see it and want to see it sometimes can see it.
We think the most crucial question is: when someone sees a ghost, does that always mean that the nonphysical vantage point, where they are now, is being expressed in that apparition? And the answer to that is: Sometimes yes. But not always. That’s what a haunted house is: someone had a dramatic experience or an exciting experience in a place, so the energy was potent. People continue to activate it and keep it alive, so that even those who weren’t part of that, sometimes can see that.
And so the easiest way for you to distinguish what is Source energy from what is a thoughtform is the intensity of it and the purity of it and the deliciousness of it. In other words, if there is Source energy associated with it, it always feels delicious at the moment you participate.
It is a very powerful time that you live in
because in 17 seconds of attention to something,
that's the kickoff point where more comes and more comes and more comes and more comes.

It's not about avoiding a thought.
It's about finding another thought.
